It will be seen from what appears in our columns this day, that the celebration of her Majesty's coronation was gene rally and enthusiasticall) observed throughout the country. Arguing from the accounts already received, it would seem almost ridiculous to doubt that when sufficient time shall have elapsed to bring us the intelligence, we shall find the remotest parts of the kingdom, and even of its dependencies, to have participated in the same demonstrations of loyalty to the youthful wearer of the British Crown. Though the august ceremonial itself was necessarily confined to this me tropolis, the spirit which even here constituted its highest glory —the spirit of a free and generous people, attached to their institutions and to their Queen, circulating through the veins of the empire, has shed its influence, its lustre, and its warmth on the most distant extremities. Even Canada, the scene of recent strife, can scarcely be supposed to form an ex ception. The friends of British connection who have proved themselves the most powerful will had the public recognition of the compact with their Sovereign as an auspicious event, while the deluded part of the population,who have already ex perienced the mercy of the crown, will do credit to themselves by a fitting expression of acknowledgment. It is gratifying to think well of human nature, and we believe that it is grati fying because it is right. The speculator, who takes a fa vourable rather than a gloomy and ungracious view of it, is therefore the more likely to be correct. But there is no speculation in the facts which have already transpired, and which are sufficient to show that no Sovereign, male or fe male (not even excepting George the Third) ever ascended the Throne, or went through the ceremony of accepting the Crown of these realms with more cordial expressions of devotion, affection, and respect, than her present most gracious Majesty. It must be a source of unmingled satis faction to the Queen herself, and to another illustrious per sona A-e united to the Queen by tics of parental love, as well as to every one connected with them, either by relationship or acquaintance, to witness from day to `day the testimo nies pouring in from all quarters, and proving, not by cold official forms—not even by solemn and sacred adjurations, but by a simultaneous burst of joy —that th 9 allegiance of this country to its Sovereign is an allegiance of the heart. —O/or/ling herald. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE 30. JENNEN V. BRYANT AND OTHERS. This was a motion to discharge an order of the Vice- Chancellor appointing a manager of the Clarendon hotel at Leamington, and restraining the defendants from interfering with the management. The plaintiff had carried on the busi ness of the hotel for some years, but, having secome em. barrassed he assigned over all his property to the defendants, by deed of trust, for the benefit of his creditors, he himself continuing to carry on the business under their superin tendence. Differences having arisen between the parties the plaintiff paid his bill and obtained from the Vice-Chancellor the order as above-mentioned.—Judgment postponed. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, *hum 30. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SALMON. 111 r. J ACOB moved noon answer to di s3olve an i njunction re straining the defendant from buildirtg a wall so as to inter cept the light from a indow in St. Edward's Church, Cam bridge. The injunction was obtained upon an information filed at the relation of the churchwardens. The parsonage of the church was in Trinity Hall, and Corpus College pos sessed some property adjacent to the church ; but neither of these bodi es comp l a i ned of the defendant ' s inten d ed erection. The injunction was dissolved with costs. ROLL'S COURT, JuNE 30. INJUNCTION—HODGSON AND GRAVES V. SAUNDERS. Mr. RICHARDS moved for a Special injunction on the part of Messrs. Hodgson and Graves, the well-kn own publishers of Pall-man, to restrain John Saunders, the younger, of Pater noster-row, from violating their copyright, in publishing a fec si m il e o f a portra i t of the Queen published by them. Messrs. Hodgson and- Graves purchased, at a great cost, the portrait of the Queen, painted by Mr. E. Parris, from which the beautiful print engraved by Wagstaff was executed. The expenses of bringing out this work were very great, and the plaintiffs had already sold 2.500 copies. On Wednesday last the defendant pubiished a life of the Queen, to which he ap pended as a frontispiece the plaintiffs' portrait of her Majesty. This engraving was a complete copy of the original, but, being engraved from the print, the impressions were reversed, and the ribbon of the Order of the Garter was consequently placed over the right shoulder, instead of the left, and the pat tern of the earrings was slightly altered. Mr. Graves made an affidavit that he and his partner had purchased a painting, and had the engraving made from it at their own expense, and that they alone had the copyright of the work. Mr. Wag_ staff, the engraver, in his affidavit, stated that the print pub lished by the defendant was a pirated copy of the engraving executed by him; and Mr. Parris, portrait painter in ordinary to her Majesty, swore that the print was made from the en graving executed by Mr. Wagstaff from his own painting, and that the alterations were only attempts at evasion. Lord LANGDALE examined the portrait and the pirated copy, and gave it as his opinion that it was taken from the original; he, therefore, granted the injunction. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, J UNE 30 . (Continued from o ur Fi rs t Edi t i on of Saturday.) Dr. LUS HINGTON said the mischief which had been said to arise from holding meetings in churches had been much exaggerated.—(Hear.) But he was sincerely anxious to remove that evil, whatever be its extent. The Bill ex empting small parishes was quite inconsistent with itself, for the evil (such as it was) was just as likely to arise in small as in large Churches.--( Hear.) In many parishes he knew from experience it would be impossible, but at a large expence, to find a room to hold the vestry meetings in ; political meetings had nothing to do with the question ; he claimed protection only for meetings held upon parochial business. All others might be put down, and he asked no protection for them.—(Hear.) This Bill legislates unnecessarily ; it manifested no confidence in the people of England ; the object might just as well be attained by giving the people power to adopt those provisions. Mr. HAWES agreed to the amendment proposed by the Hoe. m em _ ber for Cockermouth, and should give the Bill every opposition in his power. Lord STANLEY said if the voluntary principle were adopted, the con_ sequence would be that parishes where the remedy was most called for would be those in which there would be the most difficulty in inducing the inhabitants to remove their place of meeting. Mr. CLAY said in the parish of Ct. Leonard, Shoreditch, they would find another room if requisite. He could not consent to impose a tax of such magnitude for such a purpose as 2,7oo,oool.—(Cheers.) If the Ilon. Member did net make his Bill permissive he (Mr. C.) would give to it every opposition in his power.—(Cheers.) After a few words from Sir C. DALRYMPLE, Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said he had been induced to vote for the second reading of the Bill, because he thought it was necessary that some remedy should be provided to prevent the scer.cs which were con.. tinually complained of. Mr. BROTHERTON said If the Hon. Member refused to make the Bill permissive, he should give it every opposition in his power.— (Cheers.) If instead of abolishing Church rates, they were determined to burden the dissenters with this additional tax, such dissatisfaction would be produced as completely to prevent the Bill from being carried into operation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SLANEY was anxious that some remedy should be provided for :he evil complained of. Mr. INGHAM supported the Bill. Mr. W. STANLEY thought the Eill wholly unnecessary. Mr. FRESHFIELD addressed the House amid loud cries of" Divide, divide." He thought there was no necessity for making the Bill Per. missive. Mr. O'CONNELL would move that the Chairman should report progress. After a few observation from Mr. Roche and gr. Grattan, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared, For the Amendment 6B Against it Majority against the amendment On our admission we found— Mr. O'CONNELL on his legs, moving that the Chairman should re. port progress and ask leave to sit again. Until he came into the. House that morning he was not aware it included Ireland. Many Hon. Mem bers were anxious on the subject, and would doubtless wish to take part in the discussion. ➢lr. DIVETT seconded themotion. After a few words from Mr. HANDLEY and Dr. Ntcnotr., the House divided, when there appeared—.

After a few words from Dr. Nrcitn.L, Lord WoasiET, Dr. LUSHING TON, and fieveral other Hon. Members, The House divided, when there appeared— _ For the motion Against it Majority —l9 The Chairman then reported progress, and obtAned leave to sit again on Wednesday next. The other Orders were then disposed of, and the llouse adjourned at ten minutes to Ave. A subject which has excited no inconsiderable talk in the Court circles is the " Letter of felicitation" forwarded by the Sultan to her Majesty on the occasion of her Coronation. It is a re markable document in its form and substance—it is about thirty-six inches in length, and between three and four inches broad ; the penman ship is very careful and elegant, bearing in the margin the signature of the Sultan, with all the titles of the very high and puissant Seignor, which from time immemorial have appertained to the principal representative of the Ottoman Court. The paper is of a very fine manufacture, ap proaching to vellum in appearance. This letter was put in an envelope, and sealed with the armorial bearings of the Sultan, and the whole en closed in a crimson cloth sachet or bag, somewhat resembling a lady's small reticule. It is richly embroidered in gold, and a tassel and string of Peculiar beauty of manufacture completes this unique billet-dons. SWINDLING.—LateIy a number of advertisements appeared in the Scotch provincial papers from several parties, supposed to be all in collusion, to the effect that the London morning and even ing Papers could be sent out on the day of publication at about two thirds of the published price. A sine qua non to the bargain was, " that the money must be paid in advance." It is needless to add that, io possession or the needful, the advertisers continued to send the papers only during the running of their advertisements, in some cases half the sve r votedvas econtained to him t b h y . time paid f or, and in several instances less.—Scotch Paper.

The number of police constables o.i duty on the day of the Coronation was 2,000, seventeen superintendents, and fifty one inspectors, the whole .f whom conducted themselves in a most praiseworthy manner, although in some parts their duties were much greater than in other:, particularly those who were placed at the prin cipal outlets. Those who were plac-d at the Surrey side of Westminster_ bridge, perhaps, had the greatest share of the duties, as nearly three thousand carriages took tip their stands in all the principal thorough fares fro:n the York-road to Kennington Common, after having set down at the Abbey and the other places in the line of procession. CORONATION FESTIVITIES.—At Stockwell, Sur rey, upwards of 100 aged married poor persons, widows, and widowers, were provided with a convenable dinner of roast beef, ale, &c , in the National School-rooms, on the Coronation day. None of the guests were unit( r5O years of age. One old couple, the husband 90 years, and his wile 86 years, attracted great notice. The man is nearly blind and the attentions of his fair half were both tender and unremitted. The females were each supplied with two ounces of tea. Portions of meat were dis. tributed to about ICO persons, who could not be accommodated in the rchopl.roornA. The school children, amounting to more than 200, were also supplied with substantial beef sandwiches, ale, and plum cake. The festivities were ended by the whole assembled party singing the nati ona l anthem of " God save the Queen." The scene was highly animated, and diffused the greatest satisfaction amongst the visitors, as well as the guests.

MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.---,Saturday morn ing, as Mr. Thomas liedshaw and a bey were cross'ng the Derwent, at the Allestree.ford, with a waggon-load of coals and a train of five horses, the fore wheel was locked in the root of is tree, which had been washed down by the floods. Mr. Itedshaw was riding on the leader, and finding their progress was stopped he went to the shaft horse to re!ease it from the waggon, but did not completely succeed. He then endea voured to return, but as the water was high and the stream rapid he was washed away and drowned. The boy gave the alarm, and assist. ante was procured from the village. Mr. Samuel Millward and mr.

This was an application to the Court concerning a process by which the goods of the Emperor of Brazil deposited in the hands of Messrs. Rothschild were attached. Mr. GURNEY moved that the attachment should be dis charged, on the ground that the goods of a reigning Sove reign were not liable to the process of attachment. The Learned Gentleman said that the case was one which re quired to be argued. The Recorder granted the rule nisi. P OLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAR LB OR 0 UGH- S TREE T. On Saturday the Marquis of Waterford was brought before Mr. DYER, charged with being drunk and disorderly in Picca dilly, at five o'clock in the morning. Policeman Ellis, C 91, saw the Marquis with two or three other persons and a woman in his cab, driving down the Hay market, and committing the insane trick of making the foot pavement his road. The policeman had no hope of overtak ing the Marquis from the speed at which his Lordship was driving : he, however, followed as fast as be could, and when the Marquis turned into Piccadilly, he saw his Lordship pull his horse again upon the pavement and drive on, to the immi nent danger of foot-passengers. The cab, however, went against some posts, and this brought the horse to a standstill. The policeman ran up, and, after much difficulty and opposi tion on the part of the Marquis's friends, he succeeded in lodg ing his Lordship in the station-house. His Lordship was too drunk to allow hisAbeing enlarged on bail. In explanation the Marquis said he had a young horse in his cab, which was very difficult to drive. The animal having a heavy load behind him became unmanageable, and went, in spite of all he (the Marquis) could do, upon the pavement.. The policeman, in the most positive manner, said the Mar quis pulled the horse upon the foot pavement, and whipped the animal to make him go the faster. The Ma rqu i s declared, upon " his honour," .he, did .not go more than about five yards on the pavement. The policeman declared the Marquis drove about 100 yards on the pavement in the Haymarket, and about 100 yards more on the pavement in Piccadilly. The concussion against the post was so great, that the woman was thrown six yards out of the cab. Marquis—l was thrown out myself. The fact is, I con sider this charge to be quite unwarranted. No one was hurt, and the policeman exceeded his duty in taking me to the sta tion-house. Mr. Drtrft.The policeman states that you were intoxicated. Marquis_ Why, I had been out all night,:and I don't think I was very sober. Policeman —You had your collar and shirt open, and your chest wss quite exposed. Marquis —I was dressed just as lam at present. Policeman —Your coat is now buttoned up; it was not so when I took you in charge. You said when I took you that you would defy your brother to drive your horse. Marquis—l might have said so because none of my brothers are in town. But the horse is only four years old, has never had a collar on before, and I'll defy any man to drive him the length of this street. If he can I'll make him a present of the animal. Mr. DYER--It was the more imprudent on your Lord ship's part to bring into the public streets such an unsafe animal, and more especially at the present time, when the streets are more than usually thronged ; have you any witnesses? Marquis—Yes. I can bring them, but I would rather not. Mr. llyart—lf they can allege anything in contradiction of the charge of wilful driving on the footpath I am willing to hear it. Marquis—No. It will be a fine, I suppose, and I'd rather pay it than trouble my friends to come forward. The best witness would be my horse. I'll call my horse, if your Wor ship think s proper. Mr. DYER then inflicted the fine of 403. The Marquis paid the money, and, turning, to the police man,_ made some u nhand some remar k s on hi s ev id ence. Mr. DYER said the policeman bore an excellent character, and, as far as the Magistrates could judge, had always done his duty fairly and respectably. The Marquis took his friend the Earl of Waldegrave's arm, and left the office.—Observer. We find the following extraordinary story in a letter from Berlin, of the 10th instant, quoted by the Hanover G axelte;—" A country patrol lately going his rounds between Konigsburg and SChoen files, in the New March, found an elegant carriage and horses stainling in the middle of a field of corn, and inside the dead body of a young man who was an inspector of the forests, and who had been shot through the head. The patrol took the carriage and the corpse to the next via_ liege, where he was himself detained on suspicion of having committed the murder. On the following day a young woman, lately married to a man of fortune, came voluntarily forward and declared that she was the perpetrator of the crime. She stated that the deceased, who had long courted her, on learning that she was married to another, wrote a letter threatening to destroy her husband and all her relations. Convinced that he would carry his menaces into execution, she made an assignation with him, but went armed with a pistol, and taking an opportunity, fired when his head was turned from her, and instantly killed him." The journal from which this is taken does not inform us what the result of this affair has been. Woodside and North Birkenhead has acted with spirit. Having subscribed a sum of money, astonishingly large for so small a population, towards the expenses, it was resolved to adopt the old English brotherly plan of roasting an ox and several sheep; for general distribution among the poor; a really splendid ox having been slaughtered a few days previously, as wet as a couple of sheep, it was determined to i'orrn a procession from Woodside 'Hotel to the market-place for the purpose of roasting.t hem. At Prescot, St. Helen's, and Ormskirk similar demonstrations of loyalty took place. WARRINGTON.—AImost every house in the town w as decorated with evergreens and flowers. Triumphal arches were raised acrrss the principal streets; flags, with appropriate mottoes, were displayed from the windows of the various inns and club-rooms ; and the greatest unanimity prevailed amongst all classes of society. Various bands of music, were dispersed throughout the procession, and a more splendid display of banners and flags was never witnessed in Warrington. In the afternoon upwards of two thousand five hundre'd of the poor and age d people of the town dined together at Ryland's Cloth-hall. Two thousand eight hundred pounds weight of mast and boiled beef, twelve barrels of ale, seven hundred weight of bread, and thirty.six bushels of potatoes, all of which were purchased by subscription, were consumed on the occasion. DOVER.—(From a Correspondent.)—The Coro nation of her Majesty has been kept here with eve' y feeling of attach. ment and loyalty. About two thousand five hundred children were hospitably entertained with cold beef, plum pudding, See. It was a very interesting sight, and the enthusiastic way in which the children, by sound of bugle, drank the health of their Sovereign was highly gratifying to an immense assemblage. LilicctLx!

This renowned property is announced for sale by George Robins, and we think it right to give our readers the opportu nity of reading that gentleman's description of it—it is some what out of the usual routine of an auctioneer's particular— for he appears to hare been dipping into ancient records to assist him in his task, and from the description we now quote, it seems he has not turned antiquarian in vain : Particulars of a highly important and unusually interesting Freehold Estate, which, amongst its maoifold and varied qua lifications, claims a peculiar and highly romantic interest from its antiquity, and its close association with the by-gone monu ments of ancient magnificence, displaying within itself the crumbling vestiges of those glories which the oldest historians depict with glowing earnestness. The Caerleon Priory may be traced, by historical records, as existing so far back as the sixth century; Gyraldus Cambrensis has left us an account of the remains of the city of Caerleon, in Wales, as he beheld it in the twelfth century. "It was," he says, " elegantly built by the Romans with brick walls, many vestiges of its an cient,.-splendour still remain, and stately palaces which for merly, with the gilt tiles, displayed the Roman grandeur. It was built by the Roman nobility, and adorned with sumptuous edifices, with a lofty tower, curious hot baths, temples now in ruins, and theatres encompassed with stately walls, a small portion yet standing; the walls are three miles in circumference, and within these, as well as without, sub terraneous buildings are frequently met with, as -aqueducts, vaults, hypocausts, shows," &c. The remains of the tower, described by Gyraldus Cambrensis, are now no more. Church yard, in Henry the Eighth's time, described it thus It stands upon a foreed_hilLl: Not far from flowing flood; Where, lo 1 ye view long vales at will, Envyroned all with wood. A seat for any King alive." And even now, in the- nineteenth century, there are still re maining outward and visible signs, which fully indicate that the town was erected on the site of a great Roman It is not pretended that time has not disturbed its origin - al grandeur, as little trace of its former greatness is now per ceptible; it will not be contended howevsr that the association is not a highly delightful and soul-stirring one. The Priory, however, seems to have been selected as a favoured trophy to hand down to a late posterity an incontrovertible proof of its great antiquity, and its previous celebrity. The reader need not be reminded that Caerleon Priory is placed on the right bank of the River Usk, in the most enchanting part of the county of Monmouth, where the scenery is resplendent beyond the feeble power of the writer to describe, but there is a sort of charm (if such an expression may be forgiven) in its being the sacred spot wherein will be found King Arthur'sßound Table, in the meadow, approximating upon the verdant lawn. It was here that kini'Arthur fixed his seat of Government, after the retreat of the - Romans, and made it his favourite` cesidence ; this was the scene of his convivialities with his celebrated .nights of the Round Table; here was the rendezvous of the son of Uther, King of Cornwall; here also a long line of an. cient chieftains resided, till it became the prey of the Anglo- Norman Barons; and afterwards, in succeeding ages, bcckme the bone of contention, between Prince leeworth and King Henry the Second, and was permanently possessed by the English on the conquest of Wales, by Edward the First. The walls still exhibit the most striking remains of their ancient structure, and the antiquarian will not permit the opportunity to escape him of obtaining many valuable relics, and of restor ing it to its pristine state this noble amphitheatre ; from thence visitor may either pass through the gcthie arch, or pursuing the path, he will be conducted to the boat house ; the south western side passes the Amphitheatre, or Round Table, in a direct parallel to the river Usk, and skirting the lawn of the Abbey; it is an oval concavity, measuring 74 yards by 64, the sides gently sloping, are now covered, as well as the bot tom, with curt, and the records of history proclaim it to be erected on the site of a Roman amphitheatre, The Piiory is indebted to the present family for having escaped the fearful ravages of a later period. A very large expenditure, aided by consummate skill, has restored its by-gone imperfections. The Gothic style of architecture prevails throughout, .and within there is an admixture of taste and comfort, that it may be imagined were not to be numbered among its early attri butes. There are two approaches to this terrestrial Para dise, the one leading through the winding and tranquil cloisters, and the other through the gothic gate at the lodge ; on enter ing the former, it is impossible to convey to the reader an adequate description of the sudden entree to the principal suite of Gothic rooms—it redly beggars all tleserip:ion, and yet there is a quiet unpretending style that varies and helps the delightful illusion. On the same floor is the suite of five rooms, each of which vie with one another for pre-eminence ; first there is the quiet unpre:ending library, communicating with the red room and two banqueting hall , ' ti t hose windows, elaborately carved chimney pieces, and exquiii.ely worked oak cornices, add no little splendour to their beauty. By opening the cloister gates, which are classic in the extreme, you enter the drawing-room, which there can be no hesitation in pronouncing the ne plus ultra of perfection; the windows of the whole of the suite arc of ancient paiated glass, shedding the " dim religious light," and are finely contrasted with the gay and lightsome appear ance of those above. The staircase of massive and richly carved pollard oak, leads to the Morning Room, with its India paper, its coloured ceiling, its tracery of oak, its varied gothic ornaments, and overlooking the magnificent St. Julian's Wood, with the River Usk meandering at its feet; vis-a-vis is the Cabinet Room ; there are Bed Rooms t correspond, with every convenience attached. ,The wavy and shaded walks, which encircles this Elysium, are enriched by shrubs and flowers; they arc nothing in extent, but everything is grace and beauty, and the garden can boast of finer Fruits than most others. The Views are extensive, varied, and lovely, and comprehend a delightful survey over Pierccffeld, Tintern Abbey, and Ragland Castle. Great })reparations are making for the grand coro nation fete and clejeuner a la fourchate, to take place on Wednes lay next in the Regent's Park, in aid of the Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear.

Yesterday two dinners were given in Paris to celebrate the' Coronation day of the gicen of England. The first, at Lawson's Bedford Hotel, No. 323, Rue St. Honore, was pre sided by Sir Sidney Smith, supported by Mr. Pickford, Eng lish Consul, as Vice- President. Between 40 and 50 gentle men sat down to dinner, among whom we observed Sir Lambert, General Sir A Rials, Admiral Taylor, Ca Lairs Atkinson, Phillipson, and Thatcher, Dr. Robertson, R. Ger ney, and other gentlemen of the highest respectability. The dinner, which was exceedingly good, was served up a before 7, in the moat elegant style ; the wines were choice, the attendants were numerous, the roams were w 11 lighted with handsome chandeliers, and the whole thing was con ducted with the quietness and comfort of a priva.e rather, than a public entertainment. After the dessert was placed on the table, the gallant no I illustrious Chairman rose to propose the hca'th of her most Gracious M ijesty Queen Victoria. He remarked on the iaterestir:g coincidence of three young fe male Sovereigns being called on to preside over the destinies of three nations of Western Enrope—England, Spain, and Portugal ; and quoting Gibbon fur his opinion upon the pecu liar situation in which a nation is placed when a young, and especially a female, Sovereign is placed at its head, observed that the innate spirit of the British Constitution would make England happy under her Majesty's auspices, and that every thing promised a happy reign and a period of long prosperity to the nation. Her Majesty's health was then drunk with thr. c times three, the company all standing. amidst the most oathusiastic a, plause. Th'e Chairman then informed the corn pany that Mr. Lake had composed some verses in honour of the day, and proposed that they should be recited. Mr. Lake then delivered the following slanzas, entitled " An Angel is England's Young Queen," and was wirmly cheered : There shines a fair star on the throne of the west, Iu beauty and splendour enshrin'd, In the light of her own native loveliness dress'd, And rich in the gems of the mind ; Hope sits with delight on that beautiful smile, By majesty temper'd, serene ; Oh ! if there's an angel to watch o'er our isle, That angel is England's young Queen ! She steps in her glory, that bright v'lijin star, Like some vision by beauty inwove; Yct more bright and more beautiful beams stl'e afar, Adorn'd by her worth and our love. Like rich jewels that deck some rare portrait divine, Her virtues and charms both are seen Shedding lustre on each, thus more lovely they shine; Oh 1 an angel is England's young Queen I The Gallant Chairman, after the applause had subsidal, rose to propose the h ea l t h of King Louis Plit4oe, and took oc casion to pass a high eulo g i, upon the character of C. , e mo narch, whose kindness to British -residents- in FraiNe had been so uniformly demonstrated. The toast was drunk' the same honours as that of the Queen of England. health of the Sovereigns who have sent special ambassknors the British court for the coronation."—(Three times three, standing.) ' 6 The . Duke de Nemours," and " his Excellency Earl Granville," were successively proposed and duly ho noured. The utmost cordiality and good feeling, without the least tincture of party feeling, prevailed, and the company se parated at about eleven o'clock. The second dinner was given at the British Club-house, No. 359, Rue St. Honore, and was characterized by similar de monstrations of loyal and patriotic feeltorr. About thirty-five gentlemen were assembled ; the dinner was served in good style, and after the dessert her Majesty's health, and the usual loyal toasts were enthusiastically drunk. Mr. Merle made an impressive speech on the cordiality of feeling_ and common interests that now actuated the two countries of France and England; and a young French gentleman, one of the guests, prompted we suppose by his ellthasia3m, sang the " Marseil laise I" The company broke up at a late hour.—Galignani.
